DIY Steam Machine Build - Components & Setup

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 3 Minuten

Valve’s Steam Machine got delayed again (RAM shortage chaos), so I built my own modular version! AMD-only for Linux gaming perfection, targeting 1080p/1440p high settings.
Parts List (total ~$1,047):

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D (6C/12T gaming beast)
• MB: ASRock PRO B850M-VC WiFi
• RAM: G.Skill 16GB DDR5-6000
• GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 9060 XT 16GB (crushes 1080p/1440p)
• Cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2
• PSU: ASRock PRO 650G 650W
• Case: Lian Li A3-mATX
• Fans: 2x DARKROCK 120mm packs
• Storage: 2TB SSD (reused)

OS/Software: SteamOS + Proton for console-like boot into Big Picture. Everything AMD-focused for max compatibility. Benchmarks put it ahead of rumored Steam Machine specs.
Pics of assembly incoming! Questions welcome.

Overwatch settings not saving

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 14 Minuten

Hi, I just freshly installed Bazzite coming from windows, and overwatch has kind of been a pain. It took a while to get the game running but I’ve noticed my graphics settings never save when I change them. How can this be fixed? I run overwatch directly though steam

Idlemir - minimalistic, but complex idle-MMORPG inspired by Ultima Online and RuneScape (browser/mobile, low traffic)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 4 Minuten

Hiho! For 3 years I'm solo developing an idle MMORPG, hand-written from scratch, without using any engines/frameworks. All logic server-side (no cheating / data mining). And yes, it works on Linux as it's browser-based :D

Recently I've added guest mode (no registration required), tutorial an much more stuff!

I'm sharing it here because I think it's well suited for Linux users, as it's both quite minimalistic and complex at the same time. I'm also a maintainer of Tangaria (MMO roguelike), and many players there use Linux.

Key features of Idlemir:

- Mostly AFK / semi-AFK gameplay: set up a build and see how it performs
- Freedom: be good or bad
- The map: a huge world with different terrain and features that affect your hero
- Exploration: each location (and there are thousands) can be explored
- A serious, book-like storyline that unfolds over time
- Long-term progression - improve 100+ skills, from stealing and musicianship to transmutation and treasure hunting
- Offline progress (gold, stat points, rest experience)

Game works in desktop/mobile and very low traffic (<1 MB/hour):

https://idlemir.com/

The game is still in early testing - some mechanics are incomplete, but there won't be a wipe; only some resources may be removed if exploits are found during testing

Feedback is very welcome. I read everything and regularly implement changes based on it. Thank you for it, folks! w00t :D

Switch to iris_xe graphics instead of i915 for newer iris-xe graphics (alderlake/intel_iris_xe)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 51 Minuten

So basically, I am currently running debian and installed The Crew. After running a while it was giving pretty damn lag after smooth rendering for some minutes. I started to search about the driver used in windows which gives shared RAM memory to the gpu for well optimization and found that i915 was the problem for me. It is mature and less buggy but also gives less performance for my case. So i just switched to the xe graphics. Here's the link to what I did, thought it will be helpfull for some folks 😄 :

Subnautica 2

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 8 Stunden 17 Minuten

When I tried out Subnautica 2 on windows (Medium, no TSR/DLSS), I got around 60 FPS, with extremely poor 1%lows, I tried linux and on the same settings and savefile, I am getting 106 average FPS which seems like a crazy jump for me, how could this be? I have a tiny10 dualboot with cachyos, and this just seems like a big jump, to get 40 FPS more from a game like this.
